</div>This is normal for 0.22. It may feel unseemly and aesthetically<br>
displeasing, but it really has no impact on playback performance or<br>
any other performance problems or delays you might be seeing.<br>

</div>I think you are running a fairly old version of 0.22-fixes. I believe<br>
most if not all of these delays are fixed. (It's certainly true in<br>
trunk.)<br>
<br>
One WAF-limiting delay you didn't explicitly mention is described in<br>
ticket #7836 (<a href="http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7836" target="_blank">http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7836</a>), namely a<br>
5-second delay between selecting Watch Recordings and having the page<br>
actually load, which may happen after the frontend hasn't made any DB<br>
accesses within the past hour. This was fixed in trunk but curiously<br>
not backported to 0.22-fixes.<br>
